When Nina Van Zandt came into the jail at
9 05. Spies was sitting with both hands ON his
hsad-a man bersft Of all hope. F.r the frst
time in her life Nina embraced and kissed him
with all the affection she could summon. Spies
remained seated and Nina sat herself down in
his lap. She then threw both arms about him
and talked with him in low but impassioned
tones
Occasionally she would stroke his forehead
or run her shapely fingers through his hair but
she did not give way to her emotion. She re-

and kissed him perhaps dozen times a. she
